????Written around the 6th century BC, Laozi is generally attributed to a recluse named Lao Dan during the Spring and Autumn Period. Laozi is also known as?Tao te Ching. Short as it is, the book has played a tremendous role in the development of Chinese culture. Based on it, ancient China produced a parallel school of philosophy with Confucianism —?Taoism. According to his ideas, Taoism, a religious sect with Lao Tzu as its ancestor, emerged in ancient China, which is the most influential religion indigenous to the Chinese nation. The thought of Laozi has exerted a direct impact on the characteristics, trends of thought and aesthetic taste of the Chinese people.
